You can put this solution on YOUR website! According to the Americans With Disabilities Act, a ramp can rise no more than 1 ft for every 12 ft of horizontal distance. To the nearest tenth degree what is the maximum angle that the ramp can form with the ground?
----------
tan(angle) = rise/run = 1/12
angle = atan(1/12)
angle =~ 4.7636 degs
--> 4.8 degs
